Everyone is talking about GLP-1

It’s a fascinating hormone that your body already makes naturally after you eat.
Find out more about medications that mimic GLP-1and what effects they can have on your gut health and digestion

You’ve probably heard of GLP-1 - it’s the hormone behind the buzz of weight-loss and diabetes medications.

But did you know - your body already makes it naturally and it plays a powerful role in your gut, hormones and energy.

✨ So, what is GLP-1?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone released in your gut after eating.
It helps your body:
🍽️ Feel full and satisfied
💉 Balance blood sugar by supporting insulin
⚡ Keep energy steady between meals
🧠 Communicate with your brain about appetite and cravings

When your gut is healthy, you make GLP-1 naturally — no injections needed.
But stress, ultra-processed foods, poor sleep and alcohol can all disrupt that balance.

💬 Your gut is your body’s built-in hormone factory — treat it well and it will return the favour.

🦴 Strong Bones for Life

As we age, especially after menopause, our bones naturally lose strength.
✨ Osteoporosis means the bones become thinner and more fragile, often without symptoms until a fall or fracture.

Estrogen plays a key role in keeping bones strong, so when levels drop during menopause, bone loss can speed up.

But here’s the good news - you can protect your bones at any age:
🥛 Eat calcium and vitamin D-rich foods
🏋️‍♀️ Lift weights or do resistance training
🚶 Move daily - walking and dancing count!
🌙 Prioritise rest and hormone balance
💬 Your bones are living tissue - give them what they need to stay strong.

✨ Menopause isn’t the end of something - it’s a powerful new phase.

Today is World Menopause Awareness Day, a reminder that every woman deserves to understand what’s happening in her body and to feel supported through it.
During menopause, levels of estrogen and progesterone naturally decline.

This can affect:
💤 Sleep and energy
🔥 Hot flushes and temperature regulation
🧠 Mood, memory and focus
💪 Muscle tone and metabolism
🌿 Gut and bone health

But here’s the good news - there’s so much you can do to support your body:
✅ Eat balanced, whole foods (especially protein, fibre, and healthy fats)
✅ Move regularly - strength training is your best friend
✅ Prioritise sleep and manage stress
✅ Limit alcohol and ultra-processed foods
✅ Support is available - talk to a specialist

💬 Let’s keep breaking the silence - what’s one thing that’s helped you feel more balanced during perimenopause or menopause?

Your gut health affects your mood, focus and motivation.
About 90% of your serotonin (the happy hormone) is made in your gut!
If your gut’s unhappy, you might feel foggy, flat or anxious.

Support your gut, and your mind follows.

✨ Eat colourfully
✨ Get enough sleep
✨ Reduce alcohol & sugar
✨ Laugh, connect, move daily

How’s your mood been this week? Maybe your gut has something to say 👀

⚖️ Feeling burnt out or wired but tired?

Your adrenals might be asking for some TLC.

Chronic stress depletes energy and throws hormones out of balance.

✨ Try this to recharge naturally:
🌿 Magnesium-rich foods (spinach, dark chocolate)
🕯️ 5 mins of deep breathing
☕ Limit caffeine after noon
🛌 Prioritise sleep, not scrolling
💬 What’s your go-to way to recharge?

🚫 Did you know your skincare or cleaning products could be affecting your hormones?
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with hormone signals - found in plastics, perfumes and even receipts.
They can affect estrogen, thyroid and metabolism over time.
🌿 Try these easy swaps:
✨ Glass or stainless steel bottles
✨ Natural deodorant & fragrance-free products
✨ Say no to “fragrance” on labels

Did you know your gut and hormones talk to one another?🧐

Your gut does far more than digest food, it plays a vital role in hormone balance, energy, mood and metabolism.✅

Inside your gut lives a huge community of bacteria - your gut microbiome. This ecosystem influences how your body produces, regulates and detoxifies hormones.

When the gut is imbalanced, estrogen can recirculate in the body, leading to symptoms like bloating, PMS, mood swings and stubborn weight gain.

🧠💚 When we think of mental health, we often think only of the brain.
But hormones, mitochondria and gut health all play key roles too.

✨ Hormones shape mood, sleep, energy & focus
⚡ Mitochondria need hormonal balance to fuel body & mind
🌿 The gut regulates hormones, reduces inflammation & makes mood-boosting serotonin

No wonder symptoms of depression often overlap with hormonal imbalance: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, low mood, insomnia.
It’s not “all in your head”, it’s biology.

The good news? nutrition, movement, stress care & gut-friendly habits can help rebalance from the inside out.

Your eyes do more than let you see the world, they reflect your overall health. And guess what? Nutrition plays a big role in protecting your vision.

🥕 Vitamin A (carrots, sweet potatoes) → supports night vision

🥬 Lutein & Zeaxanthin (leafy greens, eggs) → protect against age-related eye disease

🐟 Omega-3s (salmon, flaxseeds) → reduce dry eyes & support retina health

🍊 Vitamin C & E (citrus, nuts, seeds) → help defend against oxidative stress

Healthy hormones + balanced nutrition = strong foundations for long-term eye health.

👁️ Today, let’s raise awareness and remember: caring for your vision starts on your plate.

During perimenopause and menopause, hormone levels shift dramatically. Estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, insulin and melatonin all play a part in how you feel day to day.

That’s why symptoms can range from hot flushes 🔥 to brain fog 💭, weight changes ⚖️, low energy 😴, or trouble sleeping 🌙.

It’s not “all in your head”—it’s your hormones talking. While balance can feel harder to maintain, understanding these changes is the first step to supporting your health and wellbeing.

💜 This month is about breaking the silence, raising awareness and reminding every woman: you’re not alone in this journey. Look out for more info on the 18th October which is menopause awareness day.

Hormones may be tiny, but they have a huge impact. They influence your mood, metabolism, sleep, hunger, s*x drive & more.

A few key ones include:
Cortisol - the stress hormone
Insulin - regulates blood sugar
Melatonin - signals bedtime
Estrogen & Progesterone - cycle + menopause regulators
Thyroid hormones - control your metabolic rate

These messengers are constantly working together, like a delicate dance that keeps your body in balance. Stress, lifestyle & modern living can easily disrupt it.
Understanding your hormones is one of the first steps to supporting your health.

That’s why as well as gut health testing I frequently test hormone levels (for men as well as women) because it has such a huge impact on your health
Watch out for more info in the next few weeks on some of these hormones.
